I cannot see the cart when clicking the Add to Cart button
501 Not Implemented ERROR
Make sure you don't have any hard carriage returns in your <form action> line (broken line). It may work for some browsers while not others. Word wrap is ok.
If you see a broken line then from your HTML editor go to the end of the first line and press the delete key one time to bring up the second half.
example:
<form method=post action="http://www.coolcart.net/shop/coolcart.aspx/democart">
If you click the "Add to Cart" button and nothing happens then you may have an uneven number of
<form action> and </form> on that page. For every <form action> you must have a </form>
I usually count them to be sure.

I cannot make my product go into the cart:
Make sure you have one Name="ID" with a unique ID Value for each product or it will work like View Cart.
example,
<Input type="hidden" Name="ID" Value="Package A">
Dream Weaver will sometimes rename variables like ID to ID2. Be sure to rename them back to ID.
Also make sure that the </form> command is under all the variables names and under the submit button.
example:
<form method=post action="http://www.coolcart.net/shop/coolcart.aspx/democart">
<Input type="hidden" Name="ID" Value="Package A">
<Input type="hidden" Name="Price" Value="8.00">
<Input type="submit" Value="Add to Cart">
</form>
Remember to replace demo/cart with your username/profile
Note: Some HTML editor programs may move the </form> to immediately under the <form action> line thus ignoring the values. This may happen when using tables incorrectly.

The last product always replaces the previous product
I can only add one product into the cart:
There may be three possibilities for replacing the last product in the cart.1. Most likely you are using the same ID value for different products. The program will see them as the same product. Use a unique ID Value for each product. For example,
<Input type="hidden" Name="ID" Value="Product A">
<Input type="hidden" Name="ID" Value="Product B">
2. If you want variations to be added to the cart of the same product but with different options like sizes, colors, etc. then set Multi="Y"
<Input type="hidden" Name="Multi" Value="Y">
Note: Multi will only work with variables Size, Color, AddOn1....AddOn8, NAddOn1, NaddOn2
3. You may have turned off cookies on your browsers. CoolCart will send only one cookie per shopping session. It uses this variable to keep track of the order.

I cannot delete items in the cart:
One product doubles and turns into two products after check out:
Be sure not to use double quotes " in the values like Value="9" TV"
The " may work as an html terminate code and see two items - "9" and "TV". Spell inches or inch out instead.
Don't use:
<Input type="hidden" Name="ID" Value="9" TV">
Try:
<Input type="hidden" Name="ID" Value="9 inch TV">

The price is always Zero
First, make sure that the item is actually going into the cart and that you have an ID and a PRICE. For example,
<Input type="hidden" Name="ID" Value="My Favorite Product">
<Input type="hidden" Name="Price" Value="5.00">
or use a ^5.00 in the values for these variables, Size, Color, AddOn1....AddOn8, NAddOn1, NaddOn2
<option value="Model A^2.00">Model A - $2.00</option>
Note: do not use a $ in the value. It will convert to a zero inside the cart.

When I add a product it repeats itself 15 times in the cart all with price of zero:
Sounds like you have some hard carriage returns in your codes. Keep your code very neat and try to have only ONE <Input> command per line.
Don't use two lines for one input command:
<Input type="hidden"
Name="ID" Value="Photo Album">
Try: (One line)
<Input type="hidden" Name="ID" Value="Photo Album">

My drop down box items don't show up in the cart:
You must use one of CoolCart variables and make sure you have a Value in the option.
Don't use:
<select name="Fragrance">
<option>Apricot</option>
<option>Blue Willow</option>
</select>
Try:
<select name="AddOn1">
<option value="Fragrance: Apricot" selected>Apricot</option>
<option value="Fragrance: Blue Willow">Blue Willow</option>
</select>
Your shoppers won't see the word AddOn1 but the program will see it.
The variables that you might normally want to use in a drop down are Size, Color, AddOn1....AddOn8, NAddOn1, NaddOn2, Describe, QTY, or ID - examples
<select name="ID"> <select name="AddOn8">
Only use one "selected" command per drop down. This makes it the default and is pre-selected to make sure something goes into the cart.
How do I add extra costs by the selected drop down option?
Add a ^ to the value. For example,
<option value="Fragrance: Peach^2.00">Peach </option>
Note: the ^ will only work with variables Size, Color, AddOn1....AddOn8, NAddOn1, NaddOn2
How do I add extra shipping by the selected drop down option?
Remember, the values go into the cart. You could be more descriptive and do this:
<option value="Fragrance: Apple $2 + $4 shipping^2.00^4.00">Apple $2.00</option>
Go back | Top
How do I let the drop down selection become the actual price of the product?
<Input type="hidden" Name="Price" Value="0.00">
<select name="AddOn1">
<option value="Fragrance: Apricot^2.00" selected>Apricot $2.00</option>
<option value="Fragrance: Blue Willow^3.00">Blue Willow $3.00</option>
</select>
